[Q] [help] installing theme

ok so i got my SGS few days ago and i installed this rom:
SGSIL_PLX_JPY_V3.0 FullHebrew
and when i try to download a theme from the forum my device stuck in the opening screen and do nothing until i restore him.
im tired of this how do i optimize the themes for my rom?
Many themes are not supported for all ROMs.... and I wonder what ROM that is you are using, never heard of it ....
Ask on the thread if it supports your ROM before you flash a new theme
Peace
get either doc's or darky's rom. most of the themes work with their roms.
i from israel and its more comfortable for me to use hebrew ROM cause its my language and all my contacts and all those things...its still a JPY ROM and im sure that there is a way to optimize themes for this specific ROM

[Q] how do I install theme addons?

how do I install theme addons?
I'm new to flashing a theme on my desire HD. I already have a castom rom (Android Revolution HD 3,5) and now I want to flash a theme on my device as well.
With te theme I want to install comes a addon in a separate .zip file.
How do I install this addon with te theme?
do you have to replace the files in the addon .zip with the files in the original theme .zip or do you have to flash the theme first and then flash the addon separate?
does nobody know the answer?
just flashing the .zips one by one should do the trick!

[Q] Blank screen after theme install

I just rooted my phone, flashed superuser and backed it up. Now I installed a theme, but after it gets passed the 4G screen it makes me force close a lot of apps, did I install it wrong? PLEASE HELP!
You installed a non compatible theme most likely. Restore your backup
Having trouble with AOSP? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1295702
How do I know if it's a compatible theme?
Most themes say which rom its for. If you were on the stock rom you need to find a stock rom theme
We're comin from a pure power source.
Damn, sorry I'm a noob, how do I know what stock Rom I have
Well, if you just rooted then you probably have the basic odexed ROM. Most of the themes are for deodexed ROMs.
Please correct me if the theme is for odexed, but I am guessing that is the problem. If you didn't make a nandroid you may have to flash your first custom ROM

nandroid shows up in the boot menu, and i flash the theme. Is there any sites you guys can recommend for themes?
2.3 root
hboot 2.16
How do I find if the ROM type and if it's Odexed?
If you haven't specifically flashed the stock deodexed rom, it's odexed. You'll need to flash the stock deodexed rom to be able to theme. The themes will need to be made specifically for stock, Sense 2.1/3.0, CM7/AOSP and MIUI themes won't work.
If you want more themes, you'll be better off flashing a custom rom. I'm not sure about the availability of Sense themes, but CM7 and MIUI have theming built in. These are both AOSP roms, they're not Sense which is what you're used to. MIUI is my personal favorite, and definitely the most themable.
You can always make a nandroid backup and try out different roms/themes. If you don't like what you flash, just restore your backup or keep flashing until you find something you like.

[Q] save a theme before flashing rom update?

I have codename 1.3.0 and I have themed most of the google apks to be inverted and have different icons than what was originally on the gapps of the codename rom. If I update the rom to a later version, the apps will go back to way they were, ie. not be inverted and have original icons. Is there a way I can prevent this from happening if I flash a later version of codename? Or will i have to redo all of my theming?
